Studio Overview
ONX + Amelia is a yoga and fitness studio located in the Cathedral Hill neighborhood of St. Paul, inside the Blair Arcade building at 400 Selby Avenue. The studio is a collaboration between ONX and Amelia Ruth Yoga, focusing on what they call Empowered Movement. The space itself feels intimate and welcoming, with a clean, bright interior. Parking is available in the adjacent lot (with validation), and metered street parking or nearby ramps provide alternatives. The studio offers showers and rents yoga mats and towels, making it easy for visitors to drop in after work or before heading home.
Members enjoy a perk of bringing a buddy once per month, reflecting the studio’s community-first approach. The vibe is inclusive and supportive, with classes that accommodate a wide range of fitness levels and experience. The owners are actively involved in day-to-day operations, from teaching to cleaning, which contributes to the studio’s warm, down-to-earth atmosphere.
Class Offerings
The class schedule is notably diverse, blending yoga with strength and cardio training. Yoga styles include heated Power Yoga, Hot 26 (the classic Bikram series), HotYasa (a fusion of vinyasa and hot yoga), Candlelight Yoga (gentle and restorative), Slow Flow (a slower-paced power yoga suitable for beginners), Restorative, and Yin. For those seeking a more intense workout, the studio offers Burnout (a heated, music-driven strength and cardio class with free weights), Yoga CircHIIT (a beat-based warm-up followed by strength intervals), Sculpt (yoga combined with toning movements), and a Cardio Dance class inspired by dance fitness.
Class intensities vary: St. Paul runs warmer and more humid, while the Northeast location has a drier infrared heat. Beginners are welcomed with clear descriptions of each class’s pace and heat level, and modifications are always offered. The studio also provides live-streamed options for some classes, though not all.
Community and Experience
Reviews consistently highlight the studio’s inclusive and welcoming community. People of all shapes, sizes, ages, and backgrounds feel comfortable here, and instructors are praised for their knowledge, energy, and ability to offer modifications. The studio has also shown strong community support, including donations to local immigrant advocacy. Many members appreciate the variety of offerings—they can attend a challenging Burnout class one day and a restorative Slow Flow the next.
The instructors are described as veteran yogis who guide students through physical and internal journeys. The music is always on point, and the classes are designed to be both challenging and enjoyable. Whether a dedicated student or someone getting back into fitness, the studio provides a safe space to sweat, stretch, and grow. The drive from Minneapolis is often worth it, according to regulars. Overall, the experience is one of genuine connection and effective, varied workouts.
